1. Christ is the Word of God
Lesson 60
Christ is the Word of God
John 1
Therefore, in the beginning the Word was, for he was the Word, even the messenger of salvation—
D&C 93:8

2. John
He was one of the original 12 Apostles and a special witness to the acts and teachings of Jesus.
He referred to himself as the “disciple whom Jesus loved” 
His brother, James, and him were sons of Zebedee and a follower of John the Baptist
He was a fisherman.
He and James were two of the apostles Jesus appointed “To take the keys of Presidency.”
He was in the first presidency of the church in their day.
Was present at the raising of Jairus‘ daughter, at the Transfiguration, and in Gethsemane.
Some believe John wrote his Gospel at Ephesus (modern Turkey)some time after the destruction of Jerusalem and as early as A.D.
About 92 percent of the material in the Gospel of John is not found in the other Gospel accounts.
 The Book of Mormon affirms that John was foreordained to write the things recorded in the book of Revelation  and it refers to John’s role as a revelator and restorer of the priesthood in the latter days revealed in the Doctrine and Covenants
John, the Beloved, did not die

9. Jesus gave the Ten Commandments
to Moses.
10. Jesus is Jehovah, the God of the
Old Testament.
True False

9. We affirm that Jesus Christ was and is Jehovah, the Eternal One.”
“We claim scriptural authority for the assertion that Jesus Christ was and is God the Creator, the God who reveled Himself to Adam, Enoch, and all the antediluvial patriarchs and prophets down to Noah; the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; the God of Israel as a united people, and the God of Ephriam and Judah after the disruption of the Hebrew nation; the God who made Himself known to the prophets from Moses to Malachi; the God of the Old Testament record; and the God of the Nephites…
We affirm that Jesus Christ was and is Jehovah, the Eternal One.”

These words bear witness of the premortal existence of Jesus Christ, for He was “with God” in the beginning of all things. They affirm that His mission of salvation began in the premortal world, for He was “the Word,” even the messenger of salvation, who taught the gospel to us “in the beginning.”
Elsewhere in scripture we learn that in the premortal world, Jesus Christ was the great Jehovah

John 1:2

To word create came from the Hebrew word baurau which does not mean create out of nothing…it means to organize
(4)

30. “…I am the same that came unto mine own, and mine own received me not…
“And the light shineth in darkness: and the darkness comprehended it not.”
And the light shineth in the world, and the world perceiveth it not.
“…I am the same that came unto mine own, and mine own received me not…
John 1:5 (JST)

31. "The wicked comprehend not the things of God; they cannot know them, for they are spiritually discerned…
The unbelieving world cannot see as the Saints see; they walk in darkness, but the Saints are the children of light, even as many as keep sacred their covenants with God.
The wicked love darkness rather than light, because their deeds are evil…
We are called to be the children of light. Blessed are they who continue in the light, for the day of the Lord will not overtake them as a thief in the night;
but woe unto them that depart from, or reject that light that shines in the midst of the darkness, for the day cometh, and that speedily, when they will be overtaken as by a whirlwind.
The command of the Lord to the Saints is to watch, for we know not the day nor the hour when the Son of man shall come.”
(14)
John 1:5 (JST)

(4)

36. Jesus is the Light of the World
Which light proceedeth forth from the presence of God to fill the immensity of space—
Which truth shineth. This is the light of Christ. As also he is in the sun, and the light of the sun, and the power thereof by which it was made.
The light which is in all things, which giveth life to all things, which is the law by which all things are governed, even the power of God who sitteth upon his throne, who is in the bosom of eternity, who is in the midst of all things.
And the light which shineth, which giveth you light, is through him who enlighteneth your eyes, which is the same light that quickeneth your understandings;
"...the light of Christ is present in us mortals if we will respond to its illuminations (15)
John 1:9-10 D&C 88:7,11,12,13

37. The Witness All men through him might believe. The Light

An enabling power that allows men and women to lay hold on eternal life and exaltation after they have expended their own best efforts.
The Spirit of Truth is for all who hearken to that Spirit, the gift of the Holy Ghost.
(10)

41. Declaration “No man hath seen God at any time...
“…only the begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.”
John 1:18

42. “And no man hath seen God at any time, except he hath borne record of the Son; for except it is through him no man can be saved.”
John 1:19 JST

43. Therefore we find errors and contradictions in the Bible.
"It is to be hoped that you are aware that the Bible has come down to us through many translations and that it has been copied many times...
Therefore we find errors and contradictions in the Bible.
"There are too many passages which declare very definitely that God did appear, 'face to face,' with his ancient servants.
Therefore, passages which declare that no man has seen him, must be in error. For instance, the passage in John 1:18, to which you refer, is likely due to the fact that a translator in more recent years did not believe that God was a Personage and therefore could not be seen.
This notion has come down to us since the introduction of the Athanasian Creed in 325 A.D. The Prophet Joseph Smith has given us a correction of this passage as follows:
And no man hath seen God at any time, except he hath borne record of the Son, for except it is through him no man can be saved.
John 1:18(19-JST); See Also john 6:44-45
(5)

44. Can We See God?
Joseph Smith beheld the Father and the Son; therefore he could testify with personal knowledge that the scriptures were true.
“…Jesus showed himself unto this man in the spirit, …even as he showed himself unto the Nephites.”
Ether 3:17
(5)

45. Learn of Him
John is the only New Testament writer to use “the Lamb” as a title for the Savior.  (1)
From the Joseph Smith Translation Peter would be called “Cephas, which is, by interpretation, a seer, or a stone” indicating that Peter would become a seer in the Church.
"Accepting the invitation of Jesus to go with Him to the place where He stayed, these two men remained with Him, listening to His words all the rest of the day. When they left, they believed that Jesus was the King of Israel, the Savior of the world. Thus they became, in that day the first two, beside John the Baptist, to believe in Jesus.
"Whenever we have anything which is really good, we always desire to share it with one we love. It was so with these two brothers. They no sooner felt the divine influence that radiated from the Savior than they were filled with a desire to bring those whom they loved under that same influence.” (16)
As we accept the invitation to learn of and follow Jesus Christ, we will receive our own witness of Him
John 1:35-51 (JST 1:42)

46. "The import, glory, and grandeur of this Galilean meeting could not have been impressed more strongly upon [the disciples]. Nor can we doubt that the word went out-repetitiously-to all who were invited and that elaborate preparations were made.
This was to be no small and insignificant thing; many of them had already seen the Risen Lord, but all that had gone before was but a shadow and a foretaste of what was to be.”
John 1:51
(17)

47. Titles for Jesus Christ

51. No Man Hath Seen God Luke 1:18:
The Word John 1:1:
“In the Greek language of the New Testament, that Word was Logos, or ‘expression.’ It was another name for the Master. That terminology may seem strange, but it is appropriate. We use words to convey our expression to others. So Jesus was the Word, or expression, of His Father to the world” Elder Russell M. Nelson(“Jesus the Christ: Our Master and More,” Ensign, Apr. 2000, 4).
No Man Hath Seen God Luke 1:18:
"The Prophet Joseph Smith's understanding of the true meaning of these scriptures was made plain in a revelation received by him from the Lord at Hiram, Ohio, in November 1831: 'For no man has seen God at any time in the flesh, except quickened by the Spirit of God.' (D&C 67:11.)
"This doctrine was further clarified in the visions of Moses as revealed to the Prophet Joseph Smith:
But now mine own eyes have beheld God; but not my natural, but my spiritual eyes, for my natural eyes could not have beheld; for I should have withered and died in his presence; but his glory was upon me; and I beheld his face, for I was transfigured before him. (Pearl of Great Price, Moses 1:11.)
"It is thus plain that man can only see God when 'quickened by the Spirit of God.' This is apparently what John had in mind in the following statement:
It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.
Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father. (John 6:45-46.)“ LeGrand Richards (A Marvelous Work and a Wonder [Salt Lake City: Deseret Book Co., 1950], )
 Creation of the World John 1:1:
“The Father operated in the work of creation through the Son, who thus became the executive through whom the will, commandment, or word of the Father was put into effect. It is with incisive appropriateness therefore, that the Son, Jesus Christ, is designated by the apostle John as the Word; or as declared by the Father ‘the word of my power’ [John 1:1;Moses 1:32]” James E. Talmage (Jesus the Christ, 3rd ed. [1916], 33).
Creator John 1;3:
Jesus Christ, under the direction of His Father, was the organizer and builder of this world; that out of the elements that existed in space, He, the great Master, compounded, produced and materialized this substantial world upon which you and I live; that we are indebted to Him, and to our Father in heaven, for this life that we are enjoying, the bodies that we have, the beautiful world that we inhabit. We sometimes wonder where our heaven will be, that is, the people of the world wonder. We Latter-day Saints have no reason to doubt where our heaven will be, for the Lord has made known to us, that this splendid world that has been provided for us will ultimately be redeemed, having obeyed the laws of its being, and become celestialized, the home of celestial beings; so that if we shall ever come into heaven, or heavenly conditions, it will be, ultimately, upon this redeemed world. Jesus Christ has been the organizer and the builder of it, possessed with power to do all that." Melvin J. Ballard (Conference Report, April 1914, Overflow Meeting.)
Bethabara john 1;28-34
“The River Jordan was the site Jesus chose for His baptism by John. … Is it significant that this sacred ordinance was performed in virtually the lowest body of fresh water on the planet? Could He have selected a better place to symbolize the humble depths to which He went and from which He rose? By example, He taught us that He literally descended beneath all things to rise above all things. Surely, being baptized after the manner of His baptism signifies that through our obedience and effort we, too, can come from the depths to ascend to lofty heights of our own destiny.
“To us, the River Jordan is a sacred stream. The Jordan marked the termination of the wandering of the children of Israel. They had journeyed there from the banks of the Nile. Joshua had led some 600,000 Israelite warriors and their families across that roiling river during flood season, when the waters were suddenly stopped and heaped up to allow the faithful Israelites, carrying the ark of the covenant, to cross an empty river bed. (See Joshua 3.)
“… Bethabara in Hebrew means ‘house of the crossing.’ … Could it be that Christ chose this location for His baptism in the River Jordan as a silent commemoration of the crossing of those faithful Israelites under Joshua’s direction so many years before, as well as a symbol that baptism is a spiritual crossing into the kingdom of God?” Elder Russell M. Nelson (“Why This Holy Land?” Ensign, Dec. 1989, 15).
The name Joshua is Hebrew, and it is rendered as Iēsous in Greek, which later became Iesus (later Jesus) in Latin. Thus, Joshua’s crossing of the Jordan River can be viewed as a type or foreshadowing of the future baptism of Jesus Christ (1)
John the Baptist Purpose John 1:6-8:
“The immediate purpose of the mission of John the Baptist was to bear witness that Jesus was the true Light, the true teacher of the way of life eternal, and to invite men to believe in him for the remission of their sins and be baptized. John the Baptist was not the Messiah or the leader of a great movement; he was the herald and witness, bearing testimony to the nature and divine titles of Jesus, and the witness through whom God attested the divine sonship of Jesus” Howard W. Hunter (in Conference Report, Oct. 1968, 141).

52. Nathanial or Bartholomew Luke 1:47:
"The reasons for assuming that Bartholomew and Nathanael are the same person are these: Bartholomew is named in each of the three synoptic Gospels as an apostle, but Nathanael is not mentioned. Nathanael is named twice in John's Gospel, and Bartholomew not at all; Bartholomew and Philip, or Nathanael and Philip, are mentioned together." james E. Talmage (Jesus the Christ, 213)
What Seek Ye? John 1:51:
“It seems that the essence of our mortal journey and the answers to the most significant questions in life are distilled down to these two very brief elements in the opening scenes of the Savior’s earthly ministry. One element is the question put to every one of us on this earth: ‘What seek ye? What do you want?’ The second is His response to our answer, whatever that answer is. Whoever we are and whatever we reply, His response is always the same: ‘Come,’ He says lovingly. ‘Come, follow me.’ Wherever you are going, first come and see what I do, see where and how I spend my time. Learn of me, walk with me, talk with me, believe. Listen to me pray. In turn you will find answers to your own prayers. God will bring rest to your souls” Elder Jeffrey R. Holland (“He Hath Filled the Hungry with Good Things,” Ensign, Nov. 1997, 65).
Chosen Apostles Luke 1:47:
"Clearly, Jesus had chosen these witnesses, for he said, 'Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you.' (John 15:16.) These twelve were common men from various walks of life. The Savior selected them because he could see far beyond their earthly appearance and look into their hearts, recognizing their potential.
"...In latter-day scriptures, we read that the Lord called Edward Partridge to be bishop for the Church because of his pure heart, 'for he is like unto Nathanael of old, in whom there is no guile.' (D&C 41:11.) In another revelation the Lord said, 'My servant George Miller is without guile; he may be trusted because of the integrity of his heart; and for the love which he has to my testimony I, the Lord, love him.' (D&C 124:20.)
"These passages of scripture help me understand what the Lord could see in Nathanael, Edward Partridge, and George Miller, and give me some insight into what he expects of the Saints. I believe the Savior was seeking purity of soul in those he called to be his twelve apostles. When he spoke of being without guile, he referred to something far deeper than outward appearance. He was reaching into the soul, to the very heart of righteousness. He was touching the key to goodness and to the Christlike life.
"To be without guile is to be pure in heart, an essential virtue of those who would be counted among true followers of Christ. He taught in the Sermon on the Mount: 'Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.' (Matthew 5:8; see also 3 Nephi 12:8.) He revealed to the Prophet Joseph Smith that Zion is the pure in heart (see D&C 97:21), and that a house is to be built in Zion in which the pure in heart shall see God (see D&C 97:10-16).
"If we are without guile, we are honest, true, and righteous. These are all attributes of Deity and are required of the Saints. Those who are honest are fair and truthful in their speech, straightforward in their dealings, free of deceit, and above stealing, misrepresentation, or any other fraudulent action. Honesty is of God; dishonesty of the devil, who was a liar from the beginning. Righteousness means living a life that is in harmony with the laws, principles, and ordinances of the gospel." Joseph B. Wirthlin (Finding Peace in Our Lives [Salt Lake City: Deseret Book Co., 1995], )
The Light of Christ:
“The light of Christ is just what the words imply: enlightenment, knowledge, and an uplifting, ennobling, persevering influence that comes upon mankind because of Jesus Christ. For instance, Christ is ‘the true light that lighteth every man that cometh into the world’ (D&C 93:2; see John 1:9). The light of Christ fills the ‘immensity of space’ and is the means by which Christ is able to be ‘in all things, and is through all things, and is round about all things.’ It ‘giveth life to all things’ and is ‘the law by which all things are governed.’ It is also ‘the light that quickeneth’ man’s understanding (see D&C 88:6–13, 41). In this manner, the light of Christ is related to man’s conscience and tells him right from wrong (Moro. 7:12–19).
“The light of Christ should not be confused with the personage of the Holy Ghost, for the light of Christ is not a personage at all. Its influence is preliminary to and preparatory to one’s receiving the Holy Ghost” (Bible Dictionary, “Light of Christ”). Bible Dictionary
Elder Richard G. Scott of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles taught the following about the Light of Christ:
“The Light of Christ is that divine power or influence that emanates from God through Jesus Christ. It gives light and life to all things. It prompts all rational individuals throughout the earth to distinguish truth from error, right from wrong. It activates your conscience” (“Peace of Conscience and Peace of Mind,” Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2004, 15).
“Can any good thing come out of Nazareth? President Thomas S. Monson
“From Nazareth came example.
“From Nazareth came sight.
“From Nazareth came strength.
“From Nazareth came life.
“From Nazareth came faith.
“From Nazareth came peace.
“From Nazareth came courage.
“From Nazareth came Christ” (“Can There Any Good Thing Come Out of Nazareth?” Ensign, Oct. 1988, 3, 5).
